Rock Band

Band Hero: A Review

November 8, 2009 By sharker

What do you get if you combine Rock Band and Guitar Hero? It’s simple: Band Hero. This is one of the latest titles in the plethora of video games about music, and guess who is behind it? No other than the makers of the hit video game franchise, Guitar Hero.

The first thought that came to mind when I heard of Band Hero is that why would they feel the need to create another game when Guitar Hero is still making it big? I think one of the things that gives the new game an edge is the line up of artists and songs featured. How does Adam Levine, No Doubt, Lilly Allen, and The All-American Rejects sound? I am pretty sure that the younger crowd will have more fun playing to these songs than a lot of the music featured in the Guitar Hero series.

Just like the other games, Band Hero allows multiple players to contribute their talents as different members of the band. There are a lot modes which players can choose from. I think one very interesting mode is Let’s Get this Party Started! In this mode, any player can join in at any point of the song. Players can tweak their settings in mid-song as well, making it easy for everyone to do their own things without having to worry about messing the whole production up. This is excellent for groups of people who do not have the same level of skill – and I am just thinking of my family right now!

The game is available for the XBox360 and PlayStation3, among other platforms.

Beatlemania Reborn?

September 13, 2009 By sharker

beatles-rock-bandMany – if not all – of us were not alive when the Beatles first got together and took the world by storm, but no one can ignore the fact that they are one of the greatest bands of all time. Beatlemania spread across the world and caught our parents, and even grandparents, by surprise; and it seems that it is about to catch on fire yet again.

About four decades after the band skyrocketed to fame, a whole new generation of people are being exposed to their talent: through the release of the new installment of Rock Band. Beatles Rock Band has been hyped up ever since its inception, and now that it is out, people are flocking to their favorite video stores to get their own copy.

I visited my own local video game store yesterday, only to find out that all the copies they had were already sold or reserved. I should have pre-ordered, as I was originally planning to do!

Anyhow, while I wait for my copy to arrive, I have to content myself with what other people are saying; and so far, all I have been reading is good! Video game retailers from all over the US are saying that they are welcoming a whole new group of customers wanting to buy the game. There is no doubt about it – it is because it’s The Beatles. After all, how else can you play your favorite songs without learning how to play an instrument? I really can’t wait to get my copy!

Have you gotten yours? Tell us about your experience!
